I had this exact same problem, i was using a 3com 501 card though.

I mailed the guys at boombox and they said to transfer the TAR file not the
EXE or ZIP, i did this and it all worked fine. It's got somthing to do with
POPMAIL having an internal overlay and ftp'ing it though heaps of gateways etc.

Hope this helps
